Today Im visiting a very beautiful village in Wiltshire called Avebury, its is a short walking distance from silbury hill and also from west kennet long barrow, and just downhill from the great Ridgeway path.

The village is famous for it being built in the middle of the largest Megalithic stone circle in the World, its so huge theirs a road running straight through the middle of it!

Its actually three huge stone circles, that had 100 stones originally surrounding the two smaller rings. It has a huge cucular ditch surrounding the outside and a very high bank.

The whole area covers over 28 acres and altogether with all the huge stones and high banks represented hundreds of thousands of hours work for many people, one simply cannot imagine how, or why it was made.

Wonderful there are so many stone circles just left and not enjoyed in the UK. It about time the got some recognition again. 💯🐒

I visit many throughout the year @vibeof100monkeys i love the cicles in Cornwall most 😊

For sure some good one own there! I look forward to see more, something I would like to o more is visit them. Maybe on my trip this summer (https://steemit.com/uk/@vibeof100monkeys/meet-the-monkey-in-person). It's still very much in planning though. Keep it coming @happysmileyman 💯🐒

Sounds like your planning a good trip mate. Let me know when you have your dates organised. Be great to welcome you to the UK 😊

You are lucky to visit this my friend. I saw this on a documentary a while back, very intriguing to me. What was their reason for all this work, it couldn't have been easy! Perhaps it serves a real purpose, it may be a burial site?

That hill with the trees in the last pic looks like it could be a burial mound.

Your right there @darkpurplelight theirs a few around there. A peaceful spot it was 😊

Wow...Thats so wonderful place...

Glad you liked the #walkwithme today @tjoet

Ah Avebury, love it. Jamie and I danced naked widdershins around the stones once in the middle of the night. Yep. I'll be off now.

So funny, you two are pretty crazy loons!. Mind you i have always wanted to streak across a big televised football match. Likeminds i suppose 😊
